Boatman's Loft

Whitby, North Yorkshire

Nestled in Whitby, North Yorkshire, this charming converted loft space offers a romantic coastal retreat for two, perfectly situated atop the sea wall along Yorkshire's rugged coastline. Despite being a one-bedroom accommodation, the loft exudes a sense of spaciousness and provides guests with breathtaking, uninterrupted views of the sea, making it an ideal getaway for couples seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

The surrounding area features the historic fishing village of Robin Hood's Bay, which dates back to the 17th century.

The village is pedestrian-friendly, with traffic restrictions allowing for leisurely exploration on foot. Guests can also take a break at one of the traditional pubs, savoring local cuisine and a warm atmosphere.

For those looking to engage in outdoor activities, Wainwright’s renowned Coast to Coast Walk concludes at The Bay Hotel, located just across from the loft. This scenic walking path offers stunning views and a chance to immerse oneself in the natural landscape. Beyond the immediate vicinity, the picturesque town of Whitby is a mere six-mile hike along the clifftops, where visitors can indulge in some of the best fish and chips in the UK and explore the historic ruins of the ancient abbey.

This loft not only provides a cozy and inviting space for relaxation but also serves as a gateway to the rich history and natural beauty of the North Yorkshire coast. With its combination of scenic walks, local culinary delights, and charming village life, it promises an unforgettable experience for those who choose to stay.
